Anatomy lecture- exam 1 (ch.3) COPY Flashcards
- covers exposed surfaces
- lines internal passageways
- produces glandular secretions
epithelial tissue
- contracts to produce movements
- includes skeletal, cardiac, & smooth
muscular tissue
- fills internal spaces
- provides structural support
- store energy
connective tissue
- carries info
-conducts electrical impulses
neural tissue
- one layer of cells
- found in protected internal compartments of body
simple epithelium
-two or more layers of cells
-found where there is mechanical or chemical stresses
stratified epithelium
-mostly just one layer of cells
- cells with different shapes & sizes
pseudostratified
relatively flat “pancakes”
squamous epithelium
- found in the lining of body cavities, and the lining of heart & blood vessels
- reduces friction, absorbs & secretes
simple squamous epithelium
- found on the surface of the skin
-forms a physical barrier
stratified squamous epithelium
shaped like cubes
cuboidal
- found in thyroid glands & renal tubules
- secretion & absorption
simple cuboidal epithelium
- found in ducts of sweat glands & mammary glands
- secretion & absorption
stratified cuboidal epithelium
longer than wider; columns
columnar
- found in the stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes
- high secretion & absorption; protection
simple columnar epithelium
- found in the pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary glands, salivary glands
- protection
stratified columnar epithelium
- found in the urinary bladder, renal pelvis & ureters
- permits expansion, recoil & “stretchy”
transitional epithelium
types of glands”
exocrine & endocrine
types of exocrine glands
serous, mucous, mixed, multicellular, & unicellular
ducts to an epithelial surface; body opening/space
- ex: sweat, saliva, mucus
exocrine
into ECF then to blood stream or lymph; hormones
endocrine
structure of ducts
- simple: no branching
- compound: repeated branches
